Currently in a 75 minute queue

in PvP

Ruru.1302

When a player is losing using a meta build to another player using the exact same build. They cant run another build to counter or change the role they are in.

They shouldn’t be able to swap once the game starts.

Let me explain,

So pre HOT there use to be some builds that are meant for dps with some defensive skills. DPS warrior was like this. So someone goes to meta battle and tries to use it. Guess what they run into someone who is great with this build and is better at setting up the burest attack, dodging the burst and is better vs all the other classes witht he build since they know how to use it in each situation.

Now the person who went to meta battle is thinking huh im a good warrior but not as good as the better warriors in the game. They can now go to a safe shout bow build. They get to stay with a familiar class but change there role with in a team and can still be successful.

The problem is when they do this mid game. Oh I can’t win vs my opponent in a mirror matchup? Better swap to another build so I have a better chance of winning. This is exactly what we want to avoid.

Fair Matchmaking? Kek.

in PvP

Posted by: Ruru.1302

Ruru.1302

I don’t know why this isn’t a slam-dunk. Your personal ability is not at issue. Matchmaking is all about putting similar teams together. If someone, like the OP, has 45 losses to 5 wins, then matchmaking is clearly broken for him, meaning that it’s broken. Period. All this insulting Troll Advice is nonsense. Explain the 45:5 ratio. Cooldowns, classes, strategy, etc. doesn’t do it.

My own experience isn’t that of the OP but my matches are often wildly one way or the other. And when I do win, I get 2 pips about 50% of the time. As I understand it, that means I was paired with a better team (compared to mine.) Doesn’t that tell you outright that the matchmaking is not designed to match similar teams?

I wish they’d go back to the scheme used for the first part of last season. It was a lot more fun and reasonable. Once they switched, I never left my tier, even after 80 games.

If OP played like what he recorded every match, then every match is essentially 4v5 for his team.

If you played 50 matches 4v5 and won 5 of them, i’d think that would be pretty reasonable.

Struggling players - record your gameplay.

Ruru.1302

For some of us, the ranked queue button may as well say “match me with the challenged”. You can’t control what the matchmaker gives you; some games you might get god’s gift to pvp, and the next game you may as well have been matched with a toddler on a unicycle.

But there is one thing, one variable you can control – your own gameplay. Sometimes you are just too frustrated with your teammates to see your own mistakes; mental exhaustion due to perceived mistakes does do that to you.

Consider this thread.

The OP had repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with his teammates, to the point he was convinced that he was doing nothing wrong, and to prove his point, he put up a video , which, quite frankly, as quoted by “new players are cancer”: some of the worst gameplay i’ve ever watched.

The reason I bring up that thread is because it contains THE most constructive criticism I’ve ever seen on this forum, in spite of OP defending his very very subpar play. Now, this isn’t an attack on that thread’s OP, but the amount of players willing to help him before and after the video drastically changed, and the majority of those helpful players were diamonds/legends.

Based on the above, I feel that if people were more willing to share footage of their gameplay, they would receive more help and would be able to climb faster.

I just watched the video and it was an absolute disaster. You make mistake after mistake after mistake, it’s utterly ridiculous how you can even begin to think that you deserve any higher than the lowest depths of emerald.

You were essentially a non factor that game, you did nothing. Your build is garbage, and while yea, I do agree that the healer should prioritize keeping themselves alive, there is literally no reason to run cantrips over auras. If you need cantrips to keep yourself alive, don’t play ele.

Your refusal to accept criticism and the defence of your very bad game play suggests that it’s not your team, but you. Multiple times in the game you wasted your utilities, especially that one time you misted away from mid for nothing, failed to dodge key skills ( how the kitten can you even get hit by iZerker with full endurance??) Almost never fight on point, and your game knowledge/rotations is extremely lacking. Around 6:15 you go far with your thief. WHY? why didn’t you just leave him to decap and go home to support the inevitable home push? You are also slow with key skills. Missing static field, failing to heal your DH at home, game play of the lowest caliber.

Before you attempt to refute, I am in legendary division. If you can’t accept this, then there is no place for you in pvp. I’m on mobile right now, but I look forward to picking apart your necromancer game play once I get home.

Look at whole the trolls, analyzing the OP decision as if they were GOD’S and able to make split sec decisions all the time.

1- OP, I would only advise you to use a meta build if you don’t main the class. If ele is your main or if you have at least 1000 games on ele; then you don’t have to change your build.

2-There is no need for you to feed the troll, Anet know they kittened up this season, ergo they have decided to work on something better in S3.

Go ahead blame the OP, the op might be right/wrong in saying that system kittened him up; but as long as there is a possibility who THE HECK are you to doubt him?? There is no need to scrutinize his gameplay or whatever…

And if anything, top stats prove something since he is a effing HEALER.

I remember playing you 3 times on my way up the ladder in low sapphire/high emerald. You were one of the worst warriors I’ve ever seen. I won all 3 times.

Low games played: check.
Winning percentage under 40%: check.
Considers self a pro player: check.

Congratulations OP, I believe you meet the requirements to complain about GW2 matchmaking.

A lot of those games have been me trying out other builds and experimenting with my own builds… as well as giving other classes a chance. I rarely que unranked because I don’t like the maps.

And you don’t think thats a good reason why you lost so much kek.

That was before the expansion when I did all of that experimentation anyway. I could always just make a youtube video of my gameplay.

Do it then. This thread obviously isn’t going anywhere.

Lol, you have to be joking.; even pro 0 layers don’t like this system. They still have blowouts in legendary ?? What type of system is this. Any system that match X vs X is faulty. The OP argument is valid, it useless to blame him for his shortfalls when the MMR algorithm says:

We will match you with folks around your MMR but won’t consider your team MMR to find you opponents.

I belive what the OP want is a system where each team has a 50/50 chance at winning not a jumbo slot.

rofl!!!!That was a good joke, oh wait you were being serious? here let me type louder RRROOOFFFFFLLLL. Did you miss season 1?

High ranked players were teaming up with lower ranked players to game easier matches. You’d be facing more proleague teams in that way. What did you think I meant by easy wins?

Yo have a 50/50 chnace to win when the game starts…. then you quit the moment you start falling behind or point zerg.

Good laugh for the day

Well, is there way a utterly nonsensical statement/ arguement /reply this has to be it. First question:

Did you miss season 1?

Nope,I didn’t miss it, as a matter of fact I grinded my way to ruby T6. Now, if your question was Do you miss s1? The answer is partly, I didnt like the bunker meta, and I hated people who tanked their MMR by shopping for amber; However the MMR algorithm used in S1 ( my understanding being the average MMR of each team was taken into account) is Def being missed by folks like me, or pros who are of the same opinion.

Well, if those were easier wins, then how come Noone ever went on a 30 game win streak last season?? Or maybe it was because the MMR of both team was taken into account so each had the chance to win?? And second you and I have no way of knowing how truly great the S1 algorithm was because BUNKER mesmer/ BUNKER ele was severely abused last season. So, two team could have had the same avg MMR, the lack of bunker mes on one teach could have been a game changer.

Your last sentence doesn’t even make sense, are you still talking about the S1 algorithm or this one?. Let me tell you what happened at the start of this season. Ruby/diamond players , who didn’t main mesmer or ele, that tried hard to get to diamond or legendary respectively got severely punished. They started with a below average MMR this season and got match with folks around their MMR. The more they lost, the kittentier their chance of getting out of their division was. So, if by your nonsensical utterly stupid last sentence you meant that the MMR was resettled this season, then you are wrong my friend.

The point he is trying to make was that literally anyone could get legendary last season by playing against players of their own MMR. You could have 1200 MMR and be in legendary along with players with 2100 MMR, which was utterly ridiculous. This new system restricts lower MMR players from climbing, which is how it should be. Same goes for any division over ruby.

To address your point about people not maining mesmer or ele not being able to get diamond/legendary: simply put, they just weren’t good enough. If you refuse to play strong builds, why should you be able to climb over someone of similar skill, but is not adverse to play those builds?

But at the same time, the 50/50 system everyone seems to want so much doesn’t work; if you want 50/50 matches, that means you pit people of similar skill on your team vs people of similar skill on the enemy team. This unfortunately has the side effect of allowing anyone to climb – if you are consistently facing players of similar skill to you, eventually you will rise due to it being a lot easier to earn pips then it is to lose them, even with a 50/50 win rate. Eventually, you will rise to diamond, BUT you will have done so by playing against players of your own skill level, which is what was so ridiculous about the last system. You should never be able to advance to ruby/diamond/legendary by playing low MMR opponents. Essentially, this system is only valid for higher MMR players.

My suggestion would be to make the league based on ELO and ELO only. That way, bad players get stuck in lower elos, while actual good players can climb.

Power creep has pushed almost all core builds out of viability. This includes core Elementalists and Guardians of most forms. I have actually seen a few bunkery Guardians around, but I would not say they are meta.

Every so often I see a bunker guard in high diamond.

mag

Ranked matchmaking is obviously broken.

in PvP

Posted by: Ruru.1302

Ruru.1302

It’s not broken because it’s intended to work this way. The system finds your teammates based on your MMR, which is obviously either a) lower than you expected, or b) the exact average in which all new players start in. When searching for opponents, you can get anybody at all.

Say you had 1200 MMR (the average, where new players start). you queue up. you get 4 other 1200~ MMR players on your team (maybe some of them are new, some of them are average players.) Then on the opposing side, they are all 2100 MMR players. Obviously, you’d get 500-xx’d. Your MMR goes down, and it creates a cycle of players on losing streaks being matched with other players on losing streaks.

Personally, I’m on a 22 win streak. Broke into Sapphire with 0 losses. I have extraordinarily high MMR – back when the system was MMR based (pre-dec 16th), I peaked at 7th place and ended 18th. Last season, I went something like 60-20 in ranked. When I queue into games, everyone on my team is rocking primordial legend, or were at the very least diamond. I face bear ranks all the time.

In my eyes, there is almost no way this is a mistake. This is what Anet must’ve intended the system to do. No one can screw up that hard.

Easy Solution to Finally Fix MMR

If blocking another player made queuing with/against them impossible we could see a real drop in saltiness. The added bonus would mean that super horrible players and quitters would see their queue-times increase exponentially as the system struggled to find ANYONE for them to play with. They’d quit eventually, and the community would be better for it.
